Wyden Statement on Supplemental Funding Vote

Funding Package for Israel, Ukraine, and Border Security Fails on Procedural Vote Due to Republican Opposition

“Republicans chose to play politics with aid to Israel at the very moment it faces an existential threat,” Wyden said. “Craven is not a strong enough word to describe their actions.”
